The Bundesliga clubs are increasingly coming into conflict with ticket exchanges like Viagogo. These platforms are criticized because counterfeit listings circulate on these marketplaces and the average prices are significantly above fair value, confronting the free market with inflated prices. In contrast, the clubs emphasize that their own pricing is based on social compatibility and that they even offer cheaper categories. Furthermore, the clubs point out that their own resale platforms tend to link prices to the original cost. These measures are intended to ensure that access to tickets remains socially balanced and that overpriced secondary markets are reduced.
